[PATCH] nvdimm/region: always show the 'align' attribute

It is possible that a platform that is capable of 'namespace labels' comes up without the labels properly initialized. In this case, the region's 'align' attribute is hidden. Howerver, once the user does initialize he labels, the 'align' attribute still stays hidden, which is unexpected. The sysfs_update_group() API is meant to address this, and could be called during region probe, but it has entanglements with the device 'lockdep_mutex'. Therefore, simply make the 'align' attribute always visible. It doesn't matter what it says for label-less namespaces, since it is not possible to change their allocation anyway.
